That's okay. --with-includes= and --with-libs= specify directories
which are added to *every* header or library check (as opposed to
--with-<package>-{includes,libs}= which only apply to specific
packages).

Normally, you would use the package-specific switches, but there
aren't any for curses as it's considered part of the OS rather than a
separate package, so you need to use --with-includes= if it's in a
non-standard location (i.e. if gcc won't find <curses.h> or
<ncurses.h> without any additional -I switches).
